Siheyuan: From the time I became a fool

"That's not a big deal. That's why Director Li is the best leader! I'm in dire need of cotton tickets right now, and my quilt is so hard that it should have been replaced long ago.

My sister has been complaining for two years that the cotton-padded jacket is too cold. I feel ashamed to say that it is because I, as her brother, am useless.

The cotton in my sister's cotton-padded jacket is the same cotton in the jacket I wore when I was a child. It is no longer warm enough.

It’s only now that the weather is warmer, but before that it was really hard to go to work because of the shortage of cotton. My sister’s hands were frozen and got frostbite because of it.”

When Liu Lan heard He Yuzhu complaining about his poverty, she said with a complicated look, "Zhuzi, you really know how to live now. Are you saving money to get married?"

"Sister Liu Lan, you are the one who knows me best." He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows, and the gangster smell came out of him.

Everyone laughed and chattered when they heard this, and the atmosphere became strangely harmonious for a moment.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, please don’t wrongly accuse me and blame my reputation.

Don't you want to get married? I have two candidates here, do you want to meet them? But I have to tell you in advance that both of them have some flaws in their conditions. "

Liu Lan's eyes turned and her expression immediately became enthusiastic. It seemed that she was really going to be his matchmaker.

"Tell me!"

He Yuzhu calmly ate the shredded cabbage salad he had just prepared. He had the original owner's cooking skills, plus his 21st century understanding of certain salads.

It tastes really good with the addition of vinegar, garlic, sugar, a little cooking wine and sesame oil!

If you ask why he eats this, it's because the meat has been stewed for a whole day and is so greasy. He can't eat the meat even if he eats it for free.

"I have a distant cousin who is 23 years old this year. Her name is Xuanyuduo. She has a junior high school education and was admitted to high school like your sister, but she didn't go because her family was poor.

She is the youngest and only daughter in the family, with 6 older brothers.

Aren't you 24? You two are one year apart in age, so you're a good match. It's just that you look a little old. If you want to go on a blind date, you should dress up. I'm afraid Xuanyunduo won't like you.

Xuanyuduo doesn’t ask for a dowry when getting married, but she does want a formal job.

Then the house in your house must be registered in her name. All your future wages must be given to her, and she will come directly to the factory to collect them.

And she doesn't allow your sister-in-law to come to the house to ask for money, nor does she allow you to spend money on your sister.

Yu Shui is 15 now. Didn't you start working when you were 15? Why is Yu Shui still going to high school? "

When He Yuzhu heard this, his eyelids twitched. So, houses are not valuable these days. Basically, you are given a house when you go to work.

But why does it sound so uncomfortable to me, and I need a formal job, who do you think I am?

But to be honest, if he is willing to work hard and use some favors, it won't be difficult to find a formal job for his future wife. But he is not very comfortable in his heart. This girl is really calculating!

"Anything else? I don't think I can afford this girl! Especially for my house, if I put her name on it, I'm afraid my dad will come back and beat me to death."

Before we even got married, she wanted the house to be in her name, and all my salary to be given to her. She also wanted Yushui to drop out of school immediately. Does that mean Yushui's house should also belong to her? How would Yushui live? Did she find a husband's family at such a young age and live there after getting married?

Liu Lan looked at He Yuzhu shaking his head like a rattle and laughed.

"You, you rejected me before you even met me? That's not good. I thought you had learned well and would not be so picky!

Xuanyunduo is very beautiful, but a little thin. She is also very efficient at work. She started cooking for her family by standing on a stool at the age of 4. Most importantly, she is very smart and lucky.

Let’s say we were all starving, but somehow, Duoduo bought a lot more food a few months ago. The neighbors are all praising us!”

"Sister Lan, I'm not being picky. I just think this girl is too good for me. Plus, I can't meet her requirements."

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly. As for girls like this, whoever wants her can take her. He doesn't want her anyway. He would rather be single all his life than marry her.

"Okay, if you don't want to see her, then don't regret it later. This girl is beautiful and smart, and she is so virtuous.

I said a lot of good things about you yesterday. She thinks your job as a chef is pretty good, otherwise she wouldn't want to see you."

Liu Lan shook her head, thinking that the girl was really good, smart, and sweet. The conditions sounded a bit harsh, but they were all for the sake of a good family life!

Of course, Liu Lan’s idea might not be wrong. After all, women in this era would not divorce once they got married, even if they committed suicide.

If this were the 21st century, this woman's condition would surely be condemned to death.

"There is another one, but the conditions are not very good. I don't know if you are happy with it. Forget it, I won't say anything."

"Tell me what you are saying. You are telling me half of the story and leaving the other half unsaid. You are making me feel like I am being scratched by a cat's claws. Two pounds of corn flour."

He Yuzhu is curious now.

When Liu Lan heard about two catties of corn flour, he became more nervous. "This girl is a little young. Her name is Han Ruoshui. If we want to get a marriage certificate, we have to wait until the second half of next year.

She is the only child in her family, and she was born when her mother was in her thirties.

Her father had a leg injury when he was young, and he had to walk with a limp, working as a gatekeeper at a textile factory. Her mother didn't have a job and was just a housewife.

A family of three lives in a small house of less than 10 square meters, and now they just draw a curtain. "

"Sister Lan, I think this is fine. Since we are not old enough, we can just date each other first. The main thing is to see if we are attracted to each other."

He Yuzhu said quickly, "It's good to have an only daughter, so there won't be all kinds of messes." As for marrying an only daughter, you still have to support her parents.

He didn't think there was anything unacceptable about it. The girl was also raised by her biological parents. Why should she obey you in everything after getting married and not even care about her biological parents?

"You really agree to this? If you agree, how about this, I will arrange for you two to meet at noon tomorrow. Let's meet directly in our factory cafeteria.

But I have to tell you in advance that this girl is not in good health, not very tall, and her appearance is just average."

Liu Lan stared at him and said

"What does it mean that you are not feeling well? Do you have any serious illness?"

"No, I just heard that the child was born prematurely and the family conditions were not good, so it was a bit of a loss.

When the weather gets cold, I tend to cough and catch a cold.

But this child is very hardworking, doing all the work at home and outside. If old Han hadn't thought that working in the textile factory workshop was too hard, he would have given the job to his daughter long ago."

Liu Lan thought about Han Ruoshui's situation and said, he really just needs to be realistic. After all, she and Sha Zhu will meet each other every day in the future.

"Okay, let's meet tomorrow? Thanks, Sister Lan."

"Why thank you? I haven't even started yet. Don't worry about buying the two pounds of corn flour for me. You can give it to me later."

Liu Lan waved her hand. She was quite principled and would not accept the benefit unless the job was done well.

He Yuzhu was very happy

But it doesn't matter, there is a long time to come. Anyway, they all work in the same place, and according to the original plan, he and Liu Lan will have to work in this factory for at least 15 years!

"Zhu Zi, we are waiting to eat your wedding candy, so you have to save up the candy tickets."

Master Zhang couldn't help but laugh and cheer

"Master, Master, congratulations, you will soon have a master's wife."

Ma Hua also hurried to congratulate

"But aren't you all pushing it a little early to congratulate me?"

He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing

"No, Master He, I have a feeling that you can definitely get it right this time." Master Zhang said mysteriously.

He Yuzhu was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Then he took another long shower after get off work. Fortunately, this was a steel mill, otherwise he wouldn't have the conditions to shower as often as he wanted.

Then I found a barber shop and got my hair cut. Well, although the original owner was a bit ugly, he looked more energetic after this trim.

It’s just that the age difference is a little bit, this body is 7 years older than the girl. And his real age…

Damn!! He is a grown man, why is he so bothered by this?

After the haircut, I went to the master

As expected, the master craftsman has made all the clothes.

He went forward to try it on, and sure enough, he felt much more energetic after putting it on. A closer look revealed that the stitching of the clothes was very good, with no faults at all, and it was also very straight.

This shirt is also specially made for my sister. It is very beautiful and better than those sold in department stores.

"Master, your craftsmanship is so great, I don't know how to thank you."

"You are a dog that can't spit out ivory. It's not nice to praise people. If you really want to, just give me some corn flour. It's better than anything else."

"Okay, no problem. Are you going to get off work soon? You can just come to my house. I still have 20 kilograms. You know I basically eat at the factory, which is actually quite economical.

But, forget about this, I will often ask you to make clothes for me in the future, so I will just take that button."

"That's great, it's a deal, let's go."

This old master's legs and feet are more agile than his.

Of course, he couldn't give all the 20 kilograms of corn flour to the master, so he gave 10 kilograms to the master.

The master made them all cry, and finally they persuaded him to turn over his wardrobe.

And he had this mattress and quilt, and then I didn’t leave and wanted to help him make the quilt and mattress.

He Yuzhu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry

"In that case, I'll obey your command. I just bought some cheap fabrics somewhere else.

Just ask if you would like to tell your family."

"It's okay. Whenever I come home late, my wife will know that I'm out doing some private work."

The old master waved his hand and decided to rely on him...

He Yuzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still went out from a locked cabinet without telling the master. In fact, he was trying to replace one thing with another.

I just took out a few pieces of cloth with a lot of defects. Of course, they can be used as backs or quilt covers, but they just don’t look good. They are gray and there are some faded places.

But this is really pure cotton, it's quite thick, feels good and is quite soft.

"Master, can you help me with this? Don't be ridiculous, I have a blind date tomorrow and I want to make my house better."

"No problem. Your quilt is actually OK, but some parts are not very easy to use. Let's get it from a trust store." An old master is an old master. He knows the rules very well.

"Don't ask me, it's just a second-hand one. Go ahead and do your work. I'll go cook."

Just the two of us, let's make pancakes and boil cabbage!"

"It's up to you. As long as my old man can eat his fill, that's all!"

The labor was exchanged for another meal and 10 kilograms of corn flour.

All we can say is that both parties thought they had gained an advantage, but in fact they both got what they wanted most.
